On the completion of the Panama canal, there will be a readjustment of route of commerce anil travel, which will radiate from the canal to all parts of the world. The western coast of Central and South America will then constitute a definite sani tary menace to the United States. Close contact by ship with the porta where yellow fever, cholera and smallpox are always present, not to mention a host of other infectious diseases, vyill expose our Atlantic and Gulf ports to the constant peril of epidemic invasion. It will prob ably fall to the public health service to provide against this new danger. The present quarantine service em braces a chain of 'flfty-threo stations encircling the I'nited States, New York being the only important port not covered by the federal service. Thf. public health service also in cludes Porlo Klco and Hawaii in its quarantine protection, and adminis ters the quarantine of the canal gone. The maritime traffic which will converge at the canal zone will tring with it large numbers of sail ors of all the nations, Including the United States, and a medical relief station will be necessary. The Journal of the American Medical Ak oclatlon says thnt a large marine hospital should be erected at some favorable location in the canal zone, either at sea-level or In the mount ains; It would find a large nnd In creasing field of usefulness, nnd In fact will be almost a necessity. Out patient offices at Colon and Panama should be equipped for emergency and ambulance cases, and as receiv ing stations for the marine hospital. There is a un'inie opportunity In the canal zone for the Investigation of tropical and subtropical diseases. .The clir.lcal material which will be avatlnble from all artB of the world, especially from Central and South America, will afford opportunity for valuable studies of diseases which will soon be even a greater national menace than at present, ' - v. t " SnClMSMV Flt.WK. The number of suicides, which In 1901 was 8.818 ((.SOU men and 2,009 I women), has been Increasing, es- J pecfally eJnce 1905, until In 1910 It was 9.819. This number Is evidently, less than the total number of sul-1 rirtna. for without a doubt many sul-1 1d en are never noted by the authori ties. The suicidal rate Is 25 per hundred thousand. This is three times what it was seventy years ago (9 per hundred thousand In 1840, 17 In 18S0. 22 in 1900.) The mean num her was exceeded In 1910 In twenty six departments. The 9,819 suicides to 1910 comprised 7.476 men and 2, 343 women, or 34 per hundred thous and males and 12 per hundred thous and females. Frequenc of sulcld'' increases with the advance of me and the maximum Is reached among the old; but the rate Is increasing among children less than IB; th an nual mean from imil to J'JU. was ou and from 190i to 1910 was 80. Wid owers do not take a prominent place in the total number of suicides but , . ft .... , nn.titnn If ennfitderpd i iinvttuvc w mot i according to the census enumera tion. Their suicide rate Is 1C3 per hundred thousand, a'bout three times that of the .bachelors. Widows and 'divorced women show a tendency to I ani-Lie but to a less degree' than i ii widowers and divorced men. aujouk 9 282 suicides whose home w-as known. 4,908, or 54 per cent lived in the country and 4.313 or 46 per cent In the city. The rate In the country was 21. per hunderd thousand and In the city 26. Servants ot both sexes committed suicide oftener than per sons employed In other ways, and members of the professions come next. Spring nnd summer are the favorite seasons for committing suicide, soys the Paris correspond ent of the Journal of the American Medical Association. Physical suf fering accounted for 21 per cent of the suicides, mental disease for 13 per cent, unhnppiness and 111 fori une for 13 per cent . drunkennnesj for 12 per cent, domestic misfortunes for 9 per cent, disappointment in love for 4 per cent, misconduct for 2 per cent, and other motives for 24 per cent.
